Putting the baby ducklings away for the night. We’re trying to train them to walk up the ramp into their house in the evening. I love the sound their little feet make as they stampede inside! This little flock is a breed called Cayuga that is said to be quiet and they turn shiny beetle black when they are fully grown. We got them to help keep the slug population in check. Ducks are much less destructive than chicken but are quite messy and require access to water (we give them a kiddie pool) . If you have trouble with slugs in your garden, they do an amazing job.

I start planting our dahlias today & I kinda feel like Rocky jumping around psyching myself up for the big fight. The labels are made, the bins are ready…. here we go, let’s do this! 👊🏻 Pictured: Cafe au Lait Sweet Nathalie Irish D Porter Tahoma Early Dawn Camano Zoe Wine Eyed Jill Bloomquist Tory P Irish Ruffles Roque Starburst #flowerfarm #flowerfarmer #flowerfarming #dahlias #blush #summerflowers #flowers #gardening #cutflowers #freshflowers #localflowers #washingtonflowers #pnw #stanwood #dahliafarm #thefarmhouseflowerfarm
